I am terribly sorry about the sugar substitution situation. I only like my clients to use Stevia, but not many products have Stevia in it.
XXXXXXX I know you are having a difficult time adjusting to your diet. I am here to help whenever possible. You didn't receive any dietary counseling did you? Let me know if I can help you further, I once was certified as a Diabetic Educator.
As far as the diabetologist you corresponded with, does Dr. Jeyapathy sound familiar? I am almost certain this is the doctor you were trying to find as I scan the names of the doctors who previously answered your queries.
XXXXXXX I wish you happy holidays and please feel free to come back to myself or Dr. Jeyapathy if you need anything else. Regards, XXXXXXX J. Shattler, MS,RDN

Thank you so much XXXXXXX Yes, Dr. Jeyaphathy was the diabetologist I liked a lot. We are going for diet counseling in a week or 2 & in February. But her blog is hard to find & her recipes are very odd. My husband did m ake a really nice Blueberry Bread Pudding for Christmas in the slow cooker; it was wonderful, kind of tart. It had some French bread, some regular bread, from a Diabetic Recipess Slow Cooker boook from Barnes & Noble. Thanks again. XXXXXXX Bohne
